Drag Queen Story Hour hosted by Michelle Tea is Drag Queens reading progressive literature to kids of all ages! It’s just what it sounds like – glittering, magical drag queens capturing the imagination, playfulness and gender fluidity of childhood, while giving kids glamorous, positive and unabashedly queer role models. At Drag Queen Story Hour, children are able to see people who defy rigid gender restrictions and imagine a world where people present as they wish – a world where dress up is real.
